Mariners Promote Curtis Washington Jr., Worth a Look for Elite Speed?
The Seattle Mariners have officially called up 26-year-old outfielder Curtis Washington Jr., who is in line to make his major league debut after being selected in the 19th round of the 2022 MLB Draft. After spending five seasons in the minors, Washington earned the promotion as injuries to Randy Arozarena and Luke Raley created an opening in the outfield. Known for his elite speed and strong defensive skills, Washington slashed .190/.280/.394 with a .674 OPS at High-A this season. While the offensive numbers do not stand out, his athleticism and versatility give him several ways to contribute. Washington also swiped 32 bases in 95 games across multiple minor league levels last season. The Mariners will welcome the defensive reinforcement as they continue their push in the AL West.
